The ME+EM sale has up to 60% off Christmas party dresses - these are the pieces to buy before they sell out

It doesn't get much more festive than rich red velvet, and I love the embroidery at the neck of this midi dress. The cut means you can still wear your best bra, and it needs minimal accessories to look absolutely stunning.

Chocolate brown is the colour of the season, and it's a much softer alternative to a little black dress for Christmas parties. The square neckline and simple shape of this dress will stand out from a sea of sequins.

If you've got a winter wedding or black tie event in the diary, this burnt caramel gown is nothing short of scrumptious. It looks like it should cost ten times the price with that subtle cowl neckline, plus there's a shirred panel at the back so the bodice fits perfectly.

The one-shoulder shape of this option is incredibly flattering, plus the bow is detachable, so you could wear it in your hair if you prefer. This is the kind of LBD you'll be wearing for years to come.

A floral print dress works for every season, and this one is particularly striking. It's made from a crease resistant fabric, so it you'll always look perfectly put together.

If you prefer jumpsuits to dresses, this all-in-one is simple but stunning. It's made from a comfortable, stretchy jersey fabric, so it will move with you on the dance floor, and the twisted straps elevate it even further.

This military jacket feels quite Claudia Winkleman-coded. She's worn ME+EM on The Traitors before, and this neat jacket would offer a great contrast when worn with a full midi skirt.

Suede jackets are everywhere this season, so I'm very surprised to see this chic studded option reduced in the ME+EM sale. It's available in sizes XS to L, but with 60% off, you can expect it to sell out soon.

Jeans and a blazer is our go-to outfit formula for autumn, but it doesn't have to be a black jacket! This textured ivory style has razor-sharp shoulders that will make you look like you really mean business.

You simply cannot have enough nice tops to go with jeans, and this one has got a wonderfully boho feel to it. There's an optional neck tie, and it's got a metallic thread running through the fabric to add even more glamour.

An elevated and easy to layer piece, pair this with blue jeans to see you through the season in style. The cinnamon brown shade will work with all of the biggest autumn/winter fashion colour trends 2026.

Sometimes when shopping it's easy to get carried away with statement pieces, but it pays to remember the basics, too. This double-layer top is perfect for throwing on with jeans when it's not quite jumper weather.

Good denim can be hard to come by, so when my friend raved to me about her "perfect" new jeans from the ME+EM sale, I needed to know all the details. She says: "They fit like a dream, are very elongating and are more flattering as they have a zip rather than buttons. I’m buying a second pair." I'm officially sold on ME+EM denim now!

Can we talk about how clever the people at ME+EM are for a second? Get this: "This wide-leg trouser is imbued with viscose for minimal creasing and a soft, smooth finish for all-day comfort." Yes please!

Team this pretty floral skirt with a light jumper and leather knee-high boots for a sophisticated autumn ensemble. There's a matching peplum blouse up for grabs in the ME+EM sale, too.

Made from 90% merino and 10% cashmere, I can hardly believe this knit is less than £80. The snood is detachable, and the yarn is low pilling, which makes it easier to maintain and likely to last longer in your wardrobe.

In classic navy, you'll wear this cardigan on repeat in colder weather. It's made from a cotton-linen blend, and the crew neckline makes it very classic. Be quick, though; sizes are selling out fast...

Argyle jumpers are everywhere this winter, and this sleeveless option will appeal to anyone who finds knitwear can get a bit too hot. Again, it's definitely got a Traitors feel to it.
